Lay it down. Let it go. Lay down perfection. Lay down the mantle of Wonder Woman and reclaim your peace. To keep pushing past your capacity has become a societal expectation. As I said earlier, I have raised six just phenomenal kids. During those years my girlfriends would routinely gift me Wonder Woman gear. It was truly a gesture of support but for me it induced gut wrenching anxiety.
In the attempt to maintain this facade, I sucked the Joy out of my life and made myself ill. I am happy to say the road to accepting myself at my OWN speed was easier than I thought. Swim, Sew, Cook, Crochet and SAY NO. In as loving way as you can.
This is who we are. Just doing things as we do them. With no pursuit of perfection. and Supporting those who desire to do the same.
